power rankings week 17


Guest Barry McCaulkinor

Recommended Posts

Any team that can go 10-1 in the last 11 games and hold N.O. to 13 points. I might add through the tough part of our schedule. Deserves the #1 ranking. We see the faults of our own team while we knock the competition off one by one. Shiver and shake at the competition all you want but we're numero uno.

 

WE"RE NUMBER 1

#1

THE BEST

CLASS OF THE LEAGUE

SB Nation #4

 

They may have gotten a bit of an assist from monsoon-like conditions, but the Panthers did plenty to help their own cause as they shut down the Saints' passing attack and passed their own TCB Test with flying colors. Luke Kuechlywould have needed to clone himself to be involved in more defensive plays. Cam Newton was on target when it counted as he shook off sacks and other miscues to connect on deep shots to get the Panthers in position to win at the end. A Week 17 matchup with the woebegone Falcons is all that stands between Carolina and a first-round bye. (Last week: 4)

glad we are gettin love it feels great and is a nice change but then again winning fixes that.but i do think we are a top 3 team not clear cut #1. i say that cuz while watching nfl replay saw alarming stat.  we are 3 of 11 in our last red zone trips, if we want to be the best have to fix this and strike when we have opportunity! but i am very proud of this team really happy with us.

ESPN still has Seattle number 1 and Arizona ranked 9... down from 8.. after beating the number one? Why would they drop them?

Why? Because.

ESPN has already written the narrative for this season and if the facts get in the way they will just brush this whole season away like an abborition. Seriously if it ends up a Carolina vs an AFC team not named Denver, NE, or KC they may not even cover the Super Bowl.

    • I’m keeping an eye on what the Hawks do with Boye Mafe. There’s a few young talented players that needs to be retained and one of their defensive starters might not fit within the budget. My guess is probably Riq Woolen is voted off the island but Mafe could be potentially too. His stats aren’t eye popping, but in McDonald’s defense, his role is to leverage for the DL to clean up. Mafe’s QB pressure rate is top notch and in a different scheme, he could clean up.    Just something to watch this weekend when SEA is in town.
    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
